Mental health problems – physical impacts
People with mental health problems are likely to have:
• 2-4 times greater risk of cardiovascular disease
• 2-4 times greater risk of respiratory disease
• 5 times greater risk of diabetes
• Life expectancy for a person with schizophrenia - potentially 10 years less - due to poorer physical health
